When NOT to visit Hawaii
Talking Travel with Wendy
03/24/23 • 13 min
When NOT to visit Hawaii? This was such hard content to write. My Mama always said, "If you don't have anything nice to say..." but I feel like I have to share my experience because I certainly don't want my listeners to think it's all rainbows and unicorns when I travel. I'm a real travel writer and a huge sharer.
So here are my ten days in Hawaii on the Big Island, good eats, the activities I loved, and what we did discover. I share why I definitely know when NOT to visit Hawaii now and why.

#35 Amazing Glass Blowing Art - Orbix Hot Glass
Talking Travel with Wendy
10/01/20 • 17 min
Enjoy this interview with #creatives, Cal and Christy Breed of @orbixhotglass and their #amazing #glass #blowing #art in Little River Canyon near #ftpayne #alabama. Recently, I took a #smallgroup on a #daytrip to make some blown glass paperweights at this beautiful studio and workshop set in the woods atop #lookoutmountain in northeast Alabama.
So cool - blowing air into a tube into #hot #molten glass to form shapes is a wonderful way to learn #new skills and have a lot of #fun. Cal and his crew are especially patient and I'd like to give a huge shout-out to Mark Leputa https://www.facebook.com/markleputaglass/
For hanging with my ladies who were excited and a little anxious about working with the hot fires. Talented folks making unbelievable creations.
If you are interested in making personal #glassornaments for the holidays they have a wonderful schedule on their website with all the details - https://orbixhotglass.com/events/
